president, who never mentioned romney's comments on the 47% of americans who don't pay federal income taxes. >> 47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. >> reporter: with an obama campaign ad still repeating those remarks, romney tried to put an end to the controversy once and for all on fox. >> clearly in a campaign with hundreds, if not thousands of speeches and question and answer sessions, now and then you are going to say something that doesn't come out right. in this case, i said something that's just completely wrong. >> reporter: democrats maintain that tone deafness extends from main street to sesame street. so obama aides sent a protester in a big bird outfit to romney's event in virginia to mock his call to end funding for pbs. romney will spend part of his weekend in florida, back in debate prep. the other part hitting the president once again on the economy. as one senior romney adviser put it, weak job growth should not be the new normal. jim acosta, cnn, st. petersburg, florida. >>> speaking of mitt romney, taking the stage in florida shortly for a ra

the next six weeks, and over and over again you're going to hear my opponents talk about how bigger tax cuts, fewer regulations, that's the way to go. and since government can't do everything it should do almost nothing. they're making -- if you can't afford health care, then hope you don't get sick. if you can't afford college, borrow money from your parents. you know what? that's not who we are. i don't think government can solve all our problems but government's not the source of all our problems, either. there's some things we've got to do together. we -- instead of going around blaming somebody, unions or immigrants or gays or somebody, for what's going on, what we need to do is pull together. we're all in this together. we believe that america only works when we all accept responsibility for ourselves, and for each other. that's how we- >> and mr. obama will be on the road through wednesday's first presidential debate. mitt romney heads to colorado tomorrow, where he'll hold a rally, and continue his preparations for wednesday's showdown in denver. he went to church this morning o

the bush era tax use expire. health reform taxes kick in opinion 88% americans would pay more in taxes. >> how likely do we think the tax increases will kick in. >> cnn money asked 17 economists what do you think whether or not congress can get a deal done in time and the answer was unanimous, all 17 said, you know what? you're not going to go off the fiscal cliff. for them it's just a guess. those economists are putting a lot of faith in congress and the reality is don't expect anything to happen until after the election on november 6th. it's going to come down the wire. the big worry is that we could go into a recession if congress doesn't get their act together in time. >> even if we don't fall off a fiscal cliff, there's a chance that at least some of the tax increases will go into effect. >> exactly. some taxes could still go up even if congress avoid a full fiscal cliff. a good example is the payroll tax credit. expect that to expire no matter what. the reality is there's no champion behind it. the white ho

nobody knows what their tax rate will be. so companies who can put off hiring are putting it off. >> if you were to advise the romney camp because they're counting on stumping on the bad economy, bad job growth, all of that, what would you advise them right now? would they need to recraft their message? stay away from it? how do they capitalize on their message and at the same time, not contradict what the latest numbers and indicators are saying? >> well, mitt romney is right when he says the economy is not recovering enough, but i think he's got a problem which is that when people sort of intuitively feel things getting better and they hear a candidate who keeps saying things are not getting better. things are not getting better fast enough. he comes off as a gloomy gus. so i think the best thing romney can probably do is we know he's going to continue telling us what's wrong with the economy. he's generally right about that. he should start talking about some of the positive proactive things he plans to do to really reinvi
